Kuvaus

With over 10 years in the App Store, Notion Mobile is a free, award-winning music composition tool for iOS, iPadOS®, macOS and more! You’ll effortlessly create dynamic compositions in traditional musical notation or guitar tablature with its intuitive touch-based interface and incredibly broad editing capabilities.

With a user-friendly interface and simple interactive piano keyboard, fretboard, drum pad, and even optional Handwriting Recognition, Notion Mobile makes it easy to get started composing your music. You can also hear your music performed with the most realistic playback possible, using real audio samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.

Notion Mobile is a native cross-platform app, meaning you can write anywhere on any device without requiring a constant Internet connection. And when you’re back online, you’ll be able to sync your work across multiple devices — either through your preferred cloud provider, or through the optional wireless transfer between PreSonus applications on any device. Start your work on one device and finish it on another. Once you are happy with your creation you can share the Notion file, or export as MIDI, MusicXML, PDF or as an audio file.

Compose, edit, and play back your music performed with real piano and orchestral samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios — along with outstanding sampled guitar, bass, drums and other popular instruments. And when you’re ready for more sounds, you’ll find the extensive library of Notion Add-on Soundsets to purchase as part of the Feature Bundle. To save space, the initial app download contains just piano — you can then manage which of the bundled Soundsets to have on your device or keep in the cloud, just tap on Sound Installation.

Notion has been featured in various Apple campaigns including the 2014 YourVerse television commercials and has won several awards, including a prestigious music industry NAMM TEC Award for Best Smartphone/Tablet App.

Maltti on valttia

Hyvä monipuolinen ohjelma, tarjoaa ainakin omalla kohdallani kaiken tarvittavan. Onnistuu jos jonkinlaisen musiikin luominen, mutta teoriapuolen on oltava hallussa.
Käytön haastavuudesta pieni miinus; virhepainallukset paikoin liian pieniin kuvakkeisiin tekevät hommasta väliin raivostuttavaa näpertelyä, jossa kärsivällisyys testataan.
Rahoilleni sovellus oli vastinetta, mutta suosittelen ennemmin kokeneemmille, kuin vasta-alkajille. Toki tekemällä oppii...

Limited Functionality

This application looks and feels quite good, but it has a very severe limitation; It supports only two voices per stave, which limits notation severely for e.g. classical guitar, where it is common to have three or more simultaneous voices even in the simple pieces.

Also, it seems that there is no support for traditional (non blutooth) MIDI out, in case you want to control synths with this.

I suppose this is a pretty good app for what it is meant (orchestral compositions), but of limited use for another types of compositions.

I have to say, I am *very* disappointed with this limitation. Quite useless for me. Sad that there is no free trial for this, didn’t do enough research first. :(

As a side note, the icon for classical guitar is not of classical guitar, but steel string acoustic instead. Does not affect the functionality, but is visually very strange.

Hi,
indeed the iOS version of Notion only supports two voices per staff (whereas the desktop version supports four voices), and there is no MIDI out in the iOS version (whereas there is MIDI out and MIDI over ReWire in the desktop version).
Unfortunately Apple do not provide a mechanism for trialling a whole app (just for in-app purchases).
We will look into the classical guitar image - I'm sure we can update the image so it's less strange, though there is a text label underneath in case of any confusion.

Could’ve been nice if...

...it hadn’t vanished unexpectedly 10+ times in 25 minutes.

Slurring had a life of its own - which also occasionally triggered the aforementioned sudden death.

To put it short: had it performed correctly, I’d been impressed. Had I paid more, I’d still be furious.

For serious work? To put it mildly: 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It'd be great to know what you were doing as the app closed so we can investigate (other than slurs).

Just tap the Feedback button in the Help Menu of the Notion app. This will automatically create a support ticket for you, that we can then track and work with you to solve your issue.
